Who has the highest mileage on the forum? My '2 is about hit 80k which I thought was quite a lot for a roadster. Anyone out there that can beat that?

Nah - These cars should last a long time, but as stated above not many people use them as everyday cars, thus most are relatively low milage, although that also bring's it's own problems.

I've got no need to change mine, it looks like new, has done about 78k and i'm goona extend the warranty and keep running it.

The car should run indefinately, as long as you have the block replaced !!
